Fast Takeoffs Digitizing System

Description

Perform Takeoffs quickly and easily for the construction and other industries. Digitize areas, distances (lengths), and counts from blueprints, maps, plans, and drawings. Easily export results to Excel.

Use a digitizing tablet to perform takeoffs from printed blueprints and plans and the computer's mouse to perform takeoffs from digital images. On touchscreens, takeoffs can be performed with your finger or pen pointer.

Start the Fast Takeoff software program, input the scale units, English or metric. Input the scale or calculate the scale from the plans by digitizing a known distance. Choose to digitize area, length, or counts. Digitize the item using the digitizing tablet or screen. Digitizing can be point to point, or continuous. Area and lengths can be added to find a cumulative distance or cumulative area. Lengths and areas can also be subtracted. From area calculation volume or pitch can be computed.

Digitizing items are displayed on screen while digitizing. The result tables can be printed or saved in Excel files.

Tracing Methods

Digitizing Tablets & Accessories

A Digitizing Tablet is an electrical-magnetic board and pointer (pen or cursor) that can send highly accurate XY points to a computer
program. The board is about an inch thick, contains an electrical grid underneath a hard Formica surface. The
digitizer's pen or cursor (mouse-like device with magnifying glass and crosshair) creates a magnetic field which is
"sensed" by the electrical grid in the board. Press the tip of the pen or push a button on the cursor and a highly
accurate XY point, representing this location, is sent to the computer through a USB connection.

Accuracy and Sizes

The standard accuracy of a digitizing tablet is .01" (10/1000). Divide an inch into 100 parts, the result is .01" accuracy.
Larger digitizing tablets are also available in .005" (5/1000) accuracy, the higher accurcy adds $500 to the cost of
the digitizer. The largest digitizing tablet has an active area of 44x60", other sizes are 36x48", 30x36", 24x36", 20x24",
12x18", and 12x12". Most clients get a 36x48" or 30x36" digitizer.

Accessories

Higher Accuracy - Upgrade the digitizer accuracy to .005", $500

Digitizer Stand - a pedestal under the digitizer with adjustable height and angle, $500. Some clients prefer to
use a table or desk, mount on wall, or build a stand. Used electric, dakota, and chaparral stands are also available.

Extra Pen or Cursor - The digitizer comes with one corded or cordless cursor, extra pointers are available

LED Light Panel - A thin LED light panel that lays on top of the digitizing tablet that turns the digitizer into
a surface lit digitizer. Fairly expensize but useful for digitizing mylars,
x-rays or other materials better seen with a back lighting.

Quikruler Attachment - Digital readout that sits near the digitizer allowing quantity takeoffs to be performed without
a computer and software.

Recommended Digitizers

The Fast Takeoff Digitizing System includes the Fast Takeoffs software and a GTCO Calcomp Logic Tracer or GTCO Rollup digitizing tablet.

The takeoff software will also work with the GTCO Calcomp Drawingboard, GTCO Super L, Numonics Accugrid, and Summagraphics digitizers.

Other Information

The digitizer can work in dusty environments including factories and shop warehouses

The digitizer can "sense" almost
an inch above the surface allowing the digitizing designs on top of paper, cardboard, plastic, or plywood.

The digitizer can come with a corded or cordless pen stylus or cursor, we recommend the corded pointer, they have
less interference problems with nearby electronics

Testimonials

Hi John,
I thought I'd drop you a quick email to let you know just how good your tablet and software is proving itself.
Over the past week or two I've had a large run of jobs to cut from templates and your system has been brilliant. It's easy to use and more accurate than I had expected. This really is an excellent time saver.
Really glad I bought it.
Many thanks for a system that does everything it claims to do. A rare find these days.
Best regards
Patrick Griffin

and see if the system meets their needs. The demo units are free to try but require shipping prepayment and can
only be kept for one week. Call our office for more information or to order one.

Shipping a demo unit is too high for our overseas clients. For our overseas clients (and for our USA clients)
we do offer a 30 day money back guaranty.
